Carpolitlius sp. 2. 



PI. G, figs. 19, 20. 



As Carpolithus sp. 2 may be described here a kind of 

 seed which is rather common at Kurremölla. It is figured 

 in pi. 6, figs. 19 and 20. Fig. 19 represents a number of 

 seeds grouped together in such a manner that they would 

 appear to have been attached to some common axis or other 

 body. The seeds, which are ovate on the impression, vary 

 rather much in size being from 7 to 15 mm. long. A feature 

 peculiar to them all is that the surface, which shows no 

 sculpture, is very wrinkled. 



In the following table all the plant-remains described 

 above from Kurremölla are enumerated. For comparison 

 has been noted the occurrence of identical or related species 

 in some important comparable floras. 



The table shows clearly that the flora of Kurremölla has 

 no close affinity with the other floras of S. E. Scania, viz. 

 those of Munka Tågarp and Rödaisberg. Not a single spe- 

 cies can with any degree of accuracy be stated to be iden- 

 tical with such occurring in these floras, the identity of the 

 Cladophlebis from Kurremölla with C. lohijolia being very 

 questionable. On the whole, the relation to the Lower Ju- 

 rassic floras must be admitted to be very slight. In addition 

 to the form of Cladophlebis mentioned, there is only one spe- 

 cies — of Sphenopteris — that appears to come near to a 

 Liassic form, in this case Dicksonia pauciloha Moll, from the 

 Bagaa Flora of Bornholm. The determination is very un- 

 certain, however, and this type of frond is one which attains 

 its maximum development in the Middle Jurassic. To the 

 Rhaetic there appears to be a still slighter relation, the only 

 form showing any close resemblance to a species from that 

 formation being the one described as Laccopteris ap. 1 which 

 may be compared with L. elegans. The material is very 

 poor, however, and the form may equally well be compared 

 with L. Woodivardi of the Middle Jurassic. 



All the forms which afford anj'^ fairly reliable evidence 

 regarding the age of the flora seem to point to a considerably
